The Game

by Kara Thorpe

The stories say he's cruel and constant in his hatred of humans. She should have heeded their warnings. It's a terrible game he's playing with her heart but she won't forfeit that easily. Fantasy author Lily Murphy had a wonderful, terrible love affair with fey prince Kiernan. He showed her a world of enchantment then cruelly tossed her back in "the real world." She's tried to move on but her mind, and heart, are stuck with Kiernan. Just when she thinks she can finally get over him, he bursts back on the scene and drags her into a heartbreaking game. He won't let her go and she won't let him win. A short romantic fantasy told in three parts.
